What you learn from your parents, from being their child and a child of Jah

lyrics

When I was 8
They took my father away
Put him in jail
For the things he did say
He was a good man
Always spoke his mind
Fought against Babylon
He was brave like a lion

Refrain 1:
I am my father’s child (2x)
I walk his road, step in his shoes
I am a lioness, proud and true

At first my mother cried
Then she straightened up her spine
And all through my life
Strength she did inspire
She was a good woman
Showed me how to live
How to stand up for myseff
How to love and give

Refrain 2:
I am my mother’s child (2x)
I walk her road, step In her shoes
I am a lioness, proud and true

And then I grew
And the world it taught me true
Life isn’t fair
You just have to push on through

Bridge 1:
But it’s still a good world
If we make it so
If we are warriors of Jah
If we follow his word

Refrain 3:
I am Jah’s child (2x)
I walk His road, follow his word
I am a warrior, strong and proud

Bridge 2:
I and I can make this world
A better place to be
If I and I fight Babylon
Til all are free

I am my father’s child
I am my mother’s child
I am Jah’s child
I and I and I and I
